Background
We think the private rental sector needs stronger enforcement and landlord ID checks to prevent fraud, harassment and illegal evictions. Over 11 million rent privately; 1 in 7 face unlawful behaviour. We believe that landlords can exploit six-month ASTs while social housing declines. We urge the Government to regulate landlords, enforce protections, and reinvest in secure public housing.
